ume entitled, "Recollections of a Private
Soldier in the Army of the Potomac ~ and
it is for sale by A. l.. Bancroft & Co San
Francisco. 1t is a collection of well fold
anecdotes and spirited recitais by private
in the war of the rebellion. A remarkable
thing about the book is the expressed con-
viction of the author that the military sal
yahon OF this country requires that the
west Point Academy be abandoned-as he
puts 1t, destroyed" The history of the
country will not support him in this view
in the light of the record of the services of
the graduates of that institution. But this
opinion by Mr.. Wilkeson in no wise de-
tracts from the interesting story of his ex-
periences.

the Potomac is large octave volume of
l37 pages. 1t IS from the press of Charles
Scribner's Sons, New York, and is for sale

ity was better qualified to write the history
of that illustrious body of troops and its
five distinguished commanders, than Cen
eral Walker. The work is repete with
map illustrations and portraits. The treat
ment is judicial, dispassionate and exhaus-
tive. All the battle and campaign recitals
are graphic, and the entire work is per-
vaded by that calm enthusiasm and clear
perception of motives so essential to the
historian.
